LOVE these photos that were sent in of Niamh after a visit to @thackraymuseum Thackray Museum of Medicine is the UK’s largest independent medical museum, located in Leeds… another amazing opportunity to spark our littles passion and curiosity surrounding their own healthcare!

Also, “what if all health tech fit as well as your spectacles?” Ear defenders for those sensitive to noise, large print guides, magnifying devices. Thank you for being welcoming and inclusive - in your tools and by the attitude of your staff
